I did another testrun with the jumpuit and flakvest as well. It suddenly dawned on me....my armorpieces are too small!!
So, I'm going to try to get a set of FP to replace these armor pieces ASAP.
I recently bought myself a new airbrush set!!
Check it!
And here's the first results I've gotten with it (these pieces are not done yet):
I've exclusively painted with Vallejo Model Air paint.
It's been a while since I updated the blog last, but there's been some progress to share at least!
After testfitting the armor, I made some trades and bought som stuff as well. I traded my ROTJ braids for a harness for the jetpack and a girthbelt (the latter seen in the photo below):
I also acquired a set of JW Fett boots and ESB gloves from batninja over at TDH:
So, there you have the new stuff I have gotten since the last update.
My two year old son just found out that wearing a TK helmet is really, really cool. He´s running around the livingroom with it every day now! I´m gonna get him his own once I can afford it:)
After viewing the blog from work, I saw that the middle column is misplaced. I'm not sure how to fix this just yet.
The page does view correctly in Firefox and Safari at least. You shouldn't be using Internet Explorer anyway, so there you go... :-)
Here's a little update... I went to Sandvika with my wife yesterday, looking for fabric for a cape. I found something that sort of matched, but getting the excact colors is a neverending quest, as there really aren't any good lighted images of Boba from ESB showing the colors.
I sewed tha cape together after TK409's measurements (36" long, 30" wide), used an exactoknife to make some rips and tears and then I put it in the washing machine for 4 hours. Today, after it dried, I found some matte black spraypaint I had lying around, and some light brown. I misted black all over the cape to dull the colors down and added some extra at the bottom. I also used the brown to dull down the orange on the stripe, as it was really bright. I'll post some comparison pics later on.
The weathering on the bottom need to be more frayed, but that's something that will happen over time, so I'm not gonna spend to much time "making" it.
